    Phenomenal

    We used Bukhara Grill to cater our wedding in January. Our experience with Bukhara grill was nothing but exceptional from the beginning until the end. We were presented with a comprehensive and generous tasting menu, that helped us choose items for our wedding. Akshay was was our point of contact throughout the process and he was responsive to our texts, emails, and phone calls. He guided us, when needed, with selecting specific items. Our guests were raving about the food with comments such as "this is the best Indian food I have had at a wedding." The food not only tasted good, but the presentation of items was beautiful as well. We are so happy we selected Bukhara Grill to cater our wedding and we highly recommend them!

    Amazing catering service for wedding

    We used Bukhara Grill as the caterers for my brother’s wedding on 27-October, and they did an absolutely phenomenal job! I worked directly with Akshay Jhanjee - Akshay was very responsive from the very start, he answered all my questions directly and honestly, and gave great advise! He helped set up the tasting, and once we selected them he helped us plan every single detail regarding the cocktail hour set up to the family style dinner that we wanted to do at the wedding. He also gave great recommendations for the dishes as we requested. On the day of the wedding, he himself was their to oversee everything, they came early to get set up, he made sure cocktail hour food was up and running exactly as planned and then for family style dinner the food came out just in time with the right temperature! Every single dish was delicious, with the perfect amount of spice and flavor! Our favorites were the the following: Appetizers - Pani puri, Lasuni Gobi, Samosas. Dinner - Chicken biriyani, Goat Curry, Chicken Tikka Kabab, Mirchi Baingan ka Salan. Desserts - Gulab Jamun and Malai Kulfi with Falooda. I highly recommend using Bukhara Grill for their food and catering services! They are so professional, responsive, helpful, and their food is amazing! If you get a chance to work with Akshay Jhanjee directly you are in very good hands!

    Absolutely Amazing! Vickiji & Bukhara Grill were stars!

    We recently hired Bukhara Grill, led by Vickiji, for our wedding, and the experience was truly flawless. Vickiji spent countless hours working with us and our families to curate a menu that catered to our guests’ dietary restrictions. With most of our guests coming from India and having high expectations for Indian cuisine, Bukhara Grill not only met those expectations but exceeded them. We received numerous compliments throughout the events, with guests raving about the food.

    The spread was impeccable, looking as lavish as it tasted. Vickiji was actively involved during all the events, ensuring everything ran smoothly—it's rare to see an owner invest this much time and effort into delivering high-quality service.

    Both the bride and her father have food allergies, and Vickiji accommodated almost all of their needs. He even created a separate Jain station, which was a hit with everyone. We are incredibly grateful for Vickiji and his team; no amount of praise can capture how amazing they were that weekend. We often joke that we wish we could have attended our own wedding just to enjoy the food!

    Beyond providing an exceptional culinary experience, Vickiji partnered with ShareMyMeal, a charity that rescues leftover food for donation. This speaks volumes about his character and commitment to doing the right thing.

    I highly recommend Bukhara Grill and Vickiji to anyone planning a wedding. If you’re looking for a hassle-free vendor who will exceed your expectations, look no further!

    Amazing Experience

    We had the absolute pleasure of having Bukhara grill as the caterer for our wedding, and they exceeded all of our expectations! From the initial tasting to the day-of service, everything was flawless. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the variety and quality.

    What truly set Bukhara Grill apart was their flexibility. We had Jain guests and bukhara grill did not hesitate to curate a wonderful menu that was nothing short of delicious.

    On the day of the wedding, the team was professional, efficient, and ensured everything ran smoothly. We felt completely at ease knowing the catering was in their capable hands.

    Excellent food and great service. If you want your guest happy please contact Vicky Vij.

    Vicky jee.
    Thanks a lot for the delicious food on Saturday for my son’s wedding reception. Everything on the menu from appetizers to main course and the live jalebi station were big hits. All our guests were very happy with food and service from your staff. Especially Ramesh really took good care of everything.
    It was such a delight to see all and I mean all of our guests raving about the food and proudly mentioning how much they ate and how they cannot put the plates down even when they were full.

    Vicky jee. O am so glad to know you and am sure that any of my catering needs, I just need reach you. Thanks a ton for making our event a memorable one for us and our guests. 🙏🙏🙏

    The absolute BEST caterer for Indian food.

    After our wedding earlier this month in June 2024, we have no doubt that Bukhara is the BEST of the BEST in terms of Indian food catering. The food is absolutely delicious (chicken tikka masala is perfect flavor without too much heat, the lamb chops are literally the best we've ever had, they even brought a freaking tandoor to our venue to make fresh naan on-site!, etc.). But what we think puts them above any other caterer is their customer service. It can be tough choosing a menu with so many options but their team really helps provide the best solution based on you and your guests' preferences. Their expertise and professionalism is top notch! We can go on-and-on but simply put: we cannot imagine why anyone would go with any other caterer other than Bukhara for their big day. There are many caterers out there but to me it's a no-brainer...Bukhara is the clear winner!

    Best of The Best!

    Bukhara catered all of our wedding events (250/350/450 guests) and executed flawlessly. To this day, we still have guests comment on how amazing the food was at our wedding. Raja and his entire team provide a truly personalized experience, combined with the widest range of food options and truly one of a kind taste.

    Amazing experience and the right choice!

    Bukhara Grill was our caterer of choice for my son’s wedding in NJ and they were among the best vendors we had. We had close to 400 guests for the wedding and they covered post ceremony lunch and well as the reception which covered the cocktail hour followed by dinner and dessert spread. The team at Bukhara was extremely responsive from the very beginning arranging a widespread for the first tasting with lots of variety of options and fusion dishes which were all delicious.
    We appreciated that they were extremely responsive to little things we had mentioned and really showed their attention to details. Raja and Akshay went above and beyond to ensure that our expectations were met and were quite hands on at the event. Highly recommend this team!

    Amazing weekend

    We had several people come up to us and say that they have never had better food at a wedding (including their own). We cannot thank Akshay and his team enough for all of their hard work to make our wedding wonderful. Good food helps to make a wedding enjoyable, but great food makes a wedding unforgettable, and Khyber grill/Bukhara grill certainly did that for us.

    Outstanding in every way

    Buhkara Grill Caterers did the food for our wedding weekend in August 2023. The entire team was outstanding, starting with Akshay. We wanted Friday to be all Indian food, and Saturday to be an assortment of different cuisines, and they knocked it out of the park. Everyone was raving about the food on both nights, and it was just as good as the tasting we had done. The professionalism of the staff, the flexibility of the team, and the overall experience was fantastic. Cannot recommend highly enough!

    Excellent Wedding Catering

    Bukhara Grill catered to our daughter’s wedding Sangeet function, held recently in Philadelphia, PA. Their food quality (both Veg. & Non-veg.) and service was excellent! A special hit during the evening was the “Live Jalebi Station” with Rabri! All our guests were raving about the food at the wedding function. A special thank you to Mr. Vicky Vij and his team! Highly recommended!

    Excellent food and service!

    Vicky Uncle and his team provided phenomenal food and service for our wedding. We really appreciated the thought and care that Vicky and his team showed at each step in the process, from our tasting through our wedding. We appreciated that the team put together a menu which incorporated delicious Indian food, as well as Indo-Chinese and fusion dishes - which our guests have not stopped raving about. Everyone also enjoyed the live jalebi station as well as the ice cream bar that the team put together, which was a truly unique touch!

    Fusion Wedding June 2022

    Our wedding was in June of 2022. Part of my now-wife's family is Indian, while most of my family is American and unfamiliar with Indian foods and customs. Because of this, there was a need to provide Indian dishes and a variety of other menu items from different cuisines to suit a wide range of palates. We thought Bukhara Grill did an excellent job recommending a menu to suit our needs, and the feedback from our guests was universal; the food was excellent. We would highly recommend Bukhara Grill for weddings or other catering needs based on our experience.

    Engagement Party 5/21/2022

    I used Bukhara for my engagement party earlier this year & did not regret it! I primarily communicated with Akshay throughout the entire process and he was courteous & professional throughout the entire experience, giving me prompt responses to any questions/concerns I had. They have an extensive list of items you can choose from to create a menu for your special day. All my guests loved the food, and we kept receiving so much positive feedback. I believe food is one of the most important parts of an event and you will not be disappointed by choosing Bukhara Grill for your next occasion.

    You are in good hands with Bukkhara

    We used Bukhara Grill as our caterer for a pre-wedding event, Vicky went above and beyond to create a unique menu for our events and was very responsive whenever we had a question.
    Or family was happy we chose Bukhara and we got so many compliments from the guests regarding the food and we couldn't have asked for a more reliable caterer.
    Forget the other name brand caterer's in the NJ/NY areas, they have failed on us, we now absolutely trust Bukhara for all of our event catering.

    Bukhara is the best

    Vicky and team are incredible! We could not have made a better choice in or caterer! He knew exactly what we needed for our wedding. He made great suggestions for our fully vegetarian multi- cultural wedding and every single guest told us how exceptional the food was. From the snacks at the ceremony to the main courses, the guests raved about the food at each and every single event. There was so much variety offered in all different cuisines. We opted for a few live chefs at our events which our guests truly enjoyed. In addition to the food, the team has incredible service . We really do feel like family with and are so incredibly happy with our choice in choosing Bukhara for our wedding! They leave no stone unturned and weeks after our event, we are still receiving compliments on the food- we owe it all to Bukhara!

    Amazing amazing amazing

    My husband and I chose Bukhara Grill as our caterer for two events-mehndi and reception. From the first meeting with Raja, we knew that we needed to look no further. The service that Raja and his team provided for both my events were impeccable!

    Now getting down to business with the food...

    We worked with Raja to customize our menu to Bengali guests. Both events had completely different menus with Raja’s help. Some of the items were new to us but we took a chance in adding it to the menu and it was the best decision we could’ve made! Our guests are still raving about how amazing the food was. The Kacchi biriyani and Beef bhuna which are Bengali staples, were a super duper hit!

    Bukhara Grill is on the pricey side compared to others, however, you get what you pay for. From the service to the food, every penny is worth it!! They are top notch without a doubt and they will wow the hell out of your guests for sure!!!

    The absolute BEST

    Food is THE most important aspect of an Indian Wedding and going with Bukhara Grill for our catering was the BEST decision we made. Vicky Vij is extremely knowledgeable and professional but at the same time very warm and personal. From the very first meeting, Vicky made us (and our families) feel extremely comfortable. He worked very patiently with us and our families to craft the perfect menu for our wedding. We had several special dietary requests and he was able to accommodate all of them. He catered to all of our requests and also provided valuable Input to take our wedding menu to the next level. They have a very creative culinary team and they can make anything! From the classics to the creatives, they do an amazing job with everything. They specialize in ALL cuisines.

    The attention to detail is what makes them amazing. Vicky did an amazing job not just designing our menu but also designing the layout for all of our events. They designed the layout to ensure that there were no issues with dietary restrictions. In addition to all that, He was able to provide some very helpful advice and guidance in other aspects of our wedding. We truly felt like we were with family when we were with Vicky!

    On the day of the wedding, Vicky and his team had us and our families in awe. They knocked it out of the park. The food was impeccable! Our family, friends and guests couldn’t stop raving about how good the food was. Every time we ran into someone during our wedding day, there was a consistent theme of how amazing the food was. Even the folks the dietary restrictions could not stop talking about how great the food was. We had a lot of family from India, even they were blown away at how amazing and delicious the food was. Vicky and his team had impeccable service. It was evident how experienced his staff is and why they are the best in the industry.

    We are forever grateful to Vicky and his team at Bukhara grill for not only providing us with amazing catering but also guiding us in other areas of our wedding. Vicky is family and we will be working with him for the foreseeable future.

    If you are looking for a caterer, stop looking because Bukhara Grill is IT! They can do any size, any cuisine and any location. trust us, it will be the best decision you made.

    It’s been a month since our wedding and everyone still talks about how great the food at our wedding was and that’s all thanks to Bukhara!

    When I ask our guests what stood out the most for them during our wedding - the answer has been unanimously the food. As one friend put it "the entire wedding was lovely, but I just can't get over how AMAZING the food was!". Bukhara catered all three days of our fusion Indian/Egyptian wedding, creating dishes that appeased to everyone's taste and spice tolerance. They changed the menu each day to feature a different region of India so that there were no overlaps in what was served. During the reception, they included some Middle eastern and Italian options as well. Their staff was incredibly professional and timely. The only regret my husband and I have from our wedding is that we didn't spend more time enjoying the food - which is only amplified by how our guests are still talking about how amazing it tasted 2 months later.

    Bukhara Grill, Vicky

    This past June, my husband and I had the absolute pleasure of having Bukhara Grill cater our multicultural wedding, and we could not have been happier with the experience! From the very first conversation, Vicky and the team were professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful in planning the perfect menu for our big day.
    The food was nothing short of spectacular! Every dish was bursting with authentic Indian flavors and made with the freshest ingredients. Many of our guests had never tried Indian food before, and they were blown away by how much they loved it! The array of vegetarian dishes, especially the paneer makhi, vegetable biryani, and dal bukhara, were crowd favorites. The samosas, mango/strawberry lassi and freshly made naan were also a huge hit.
    And the desserts – absolutely divine! The gulab jamun and khoya barfi were the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them.
    Not only was the food outstanding, but the presentation and service were top-notch. The staff, under Vicky's guidance, was friendly, punctual, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors and made sure every guest was well taken care of.
    We’re so grateful to Vicky and the entire Bukhara Grill team for making our wedding day unforgettable! If you’re looking for exceptional Indian food and a catering team you can count on, we highly recommend them!

    Great catering for wedding lunch and dinner!

    We had catering from Vicky at Bukhara Grill for our wedding and reception. Right from the first tasting, Vicky was so great to work with. He took the time to walk us through the menu (which was delicious!) and gave us a wide variety of options from different cuisines! After we booked with him for our events, Vicky helped us curate the perfect menu for us and our guests. His communication was great and eased a lot of our tension as we got closer to the wedding which was much appreciated! He also met all dietary restrictions that we provided, which was a huge relief for us when trying to plan for our guests.
    The food was delicious and guests were complimenting and asking about the catering for weeks after the wedding. We highly recommend Bukhara Grill for event catering, and hope to work with Vicky again in the future!
